A Bosnian minister has expressed concern over the difference between bids by two consortia for a motorway project that includes construction of the Pocitelj Bridge.
Bosnia's state-owned motorway company5740 Autoceste FBiH said in May that it had signed a contract worth nearly €108 million with the joint venture of 5741 Euroasfalt and 945 Strabag for construction of the 5.8km Klopce-Donja Gracanica subsection of pan-European transport Corridor Vc.
A report by the Bosnian news agency Fena said that Bosnia's deputy minister of transport and telecoms, Sasa Delipagic, was concerened about possible influence by the Democratic Party Action, the largest political party in power, into the affairs of Autoceste FBiH. The head of the Democratic Party of Action, Bakir Izetbegović, is chairman of the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Delipagic, a road engineer and former head of road construction and maintenance for Bosnia, reportedly noted that the bid by a consortium of Bosnia's Hering and Croatia's Viadukt groups was €15.72 million lower that the winning bid.
